Texas Lasagna (King Ranch Chicken Casserole) image

This recipe has been in my family since I was a kid, and I'm a senior citizen now. For years I made it with cheddar cheese, now I make it with cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Colby, and boy, what a difference!

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 3x4 inch squares, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 -4 lbs chicken
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
4 celery ribs, finely chopped, about 1 cup
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 lb shredded colby, cheese1
2 teaspoons mild new mexico chile powder or 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
15 -20 regular size corn tortillas
1/2 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Boil the chicken with 1/2 cup onion and the salt and pepper until meat falls off the bones (about 1 hour), save the chicken stock for use later. Let the chicken cool, then slice the into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Mix 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with all the other remaining ingredients except the cheese and tortillas.
  • Mix the three cheeses together.
  • Dip tortillas into remaining reserved chicken stock and put a double layer of tortillas in two 8 inch x 8 inch pans (I use two 2 quart Pyrex glass ones), a layer of the soup, vegetables and chicken mixture, a layer of 1/3 of the cheese, then repeat these layers two more times.
  • Cover with tinfoil and bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Let the dish set for 10 minutes before serving. This recipe results in a mildly hot dish. If you would like it hotter, increase the three peppers, or just serve with a jar of ground cayenne pepper, so each person can adjust the heat as they like.

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, parts
1 1/2 cups ranch salad dressing
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the olive oil in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Arrange chicken in the dish, and cover with the dressing. It's best to place chicken pieces close together so that the cheese and the dressing do not burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from heat, top with mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned and the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

TEXAS RANCH CHICKEN

This is a baked chicken recipe I created as a single mother one night when the cupboard seemed bare. The kids love it, and have created their own variations. Variation: In place of dressing and mozzarella cheese, use sour cream and Cheddar cheese - slices or shredded.

This is not the original recipe in that it has more modern ingredients (i.e. canned condensed soup as opposed to the scratch recipes) but the flavor is a bullseye to the original dish served in Kingsville, Texas. My thanks to Juanita for sharing.
